Rodenbach Grand Cru

Bouteille, au Bières et cie à Montréal. Bourgogne foncée, presque opaque, mais claire, mousse très mince qui reste, trace légèrement le verre. Arôme intense, sûr, vineux, caramel et fruité. Goût complexe mélangeant le sucré et le sûr, très vineux, notes chocolatées, on détecte le chêne. Corps moyen, effervescence plutôt forte, mais douce. Évidemment un Grand Cru !

Has a very cherry / red wine smell. Poors a brownish colour. It has an almost liquer taste. The cherry is a bit strong.

Nose is of sourness, yeast, bread, cherry. Pours murky broen with small reducing head. Taste is sweet with a long malt then very long hoppy/sour finish. tastes much stronger than 6.5% as it goes to work immmediately. Light carbonation, cherries on the palate, and other complex tastes working up to a warming of the tongue and a smooth burst a reduced alcohol. Very nice indeed.

[At Chez Moeder Lambic] Dark red nearly brown beer with beige head. The sour aroma contains balsamico and prunes. Nice sweet sour flavor with hints of vinegar and berries. Nice complex beer that finishes with a delicious acid bite.

Bottle. Ive not had a sour ale so I probably shouldnt rate one. But, pours amber, thin off white head. Smells of spoiled vinegar, tastes about the same. Very sour, but it finishes clean and had a civil cherry after taste. Not my cup ’o tea.

[Bottle] Pours dark amber with a light tan head. Very solid aroma, but doesn’t set itself apart from the pack with anything special (aside from some acetone). Taste is sour (although not overly so as with some) with a little cherry and acetone again. A little thin. Aside from the acetone, it isn’t bad stuff.

Pours a nice deep reddish hued dark brown. Very tart cherry on the nose with a hint of brown sugar and barnyardy like earthy funk. Great tart bite on the front palate that leads to a good dose of ripe cheeries, and is finished with the earthiness. Great beer!

The best alternative for the Rodenbach Alexander. Even beter after the BestBeforDate
